Women Mentors for Women
Prisoners

Mercy Connections and
Northern New England V
Tradeswomen have partnered to
create a Mentoring Program to
support women making the tran-
sition from Vermont's correction-

al facilities to Chittenden County.

These women face significant
barriers in finding appropriate

and affordable housing and
employment, key elements of
successful reintegration.
Mentors can have a profound
influence on supporting individ-
ual women as they work to
rebuild their lives.

If you are a good listen-
er, have an open mind and want
to create a relationship with a
woman returning to your com-
munity to help her make a fresh
start, we invite you to Contact us
to find out more about serving

Coordinator, for more

as a volunteer Mentor. We also
need volunteers for short-term
assistance such as helping with
transportation.

» The first of two training
sessions for mentors will be held
October 6 from 5:30-8 pm at
Mercy Connections, 346
Shelburne Road, Burlington,
Vermont. The second session is
October 20. Please contact Pam
